Strange that a rock band with wolf heads are performing a Gundam Theme song. Weird enough they performed the theme song of the Hentai Kamen film.


Their also the guys behind "Database" from Log Horizon and "Seven Deadly Sins" from Nanatsu no Taizai. I can assure you that if you put them on an action anime they will deliver a kickass op. They may look weird, but they are damn amazing so no need to worry:)

Art looks great and the music sounds great. I'm getting a 8th MS team vibe from this, and that's really good.

MOTHER F'IN Yoshimasa Hosoya(Kojo Akatsuki, Reiji Akaba, and Akari Hizamaru!, etc.) is in this.

"Ride Mass"

spoiler[Innovator]

"Eugene Seven Stark"

Eugene is the 7th. Glad a certain R R isnt involved with this series.

If they are drawing influence from Tomino's take on character death like most Gundam shows do then I'd go in expecting George R.R. Martin style bodycount myself.

im getting a bad vibe from this, the art style looks kinda ... simple or childish, in my experience this kind of art style wont be higher than pg13 and if gundam isnt higher than that its usually boring for me, gundam wing i think was an exception though so i'll just have to wait till the actual episode comes out but im not holding my breath


I don't think any gundam would get higher than pg13. Gundam isn't made just for adults. They're all trying for that younger audience as well.

That makes so little sense that I'm not sure if you mean characters never die or basically everyone dies. Your GoT reference makes me think you meant the latter, but even Tomino himself only did that twice which is less than half of his own series. However the trend in most Gundams is that the vast, vast majority of important good characters live.

the gundam seed and 00 series were all pg 16 and i loved them far more compared to any of the other gundams(despite their now obvious holes), the other gundam series definitely entertained me but i never really 'loved' them

Never heard the term Kill 'Em All Tomino? It's more associated with Space Run Away Ideon but just look at stuff like the deaths in stuff like Victory Gundam and Zeta Gundam and heck even Turn A has the spoiler[implied suffocation of Cancer and Muron].

Dude.

They aired at, like, 5/6:30 in the afternoon in Japan in an anime prime time slot. For the last decade or so they've traditionally aired during a time frame most seen as being for family viewing anime. Those shows cast a glossy, mainstream net and were by no means "pg 16".

he is confused with the north american time-slot in Canada they were PG-16 this gundam anime most likely would have gotten the same rating if it came here

@god45

I'm not too familiar with how the Japanese choose to air it so yes I was using the Canadian rating that was attached to it.

that said it's a bit surprising that Gundam seed and 00 were "family" rated but I guess that a culture difference.

If it turns out bad, we can only hope it surpasses AZ in being batshit insane bad.
